Hobs have been known to be made out of brick or even a hebel block cut to size.. If was worried about the shower leaking due to warranty, that's more the problem of who ever waterproofed it.. so either the tiler or a waterpoofer To stop the water, traveling is know the exact size of the tiles, as well as the exact position for the shower screen.. then they would put say a 25mm-30mm angle from left to right, just like your hob is. Then who ever is doing the waterproofing would stick it down with sikaflex, as well as seal it up with sikaflex on the corners, then waterproof it an fiberglass the angle to the ground an the ends as well. The tiler is then able to screen his bed with correct fall for the shower recess as well as the rest of the bathroom. The falls are important to ensure the water flows into the waist an not outside. If it's done correctly with measuring it all up, the angle should be exactly in a grout joint or under the tile (depending on tile sizes, you don't want to cut a tile an have half a tile) the angle will not be visible, as the screen will be directly on top of this, or it will be grouted or a tile covering it.. Why know the tile sizes an screen position? it gives you the correct position for the angle to be placed, so you can contain the water inside the shower recess ONLY you won't see the grout being wet outside of the shower recess, it will remain dry, as will the bed. Also at the door way, there should be another angle, we now cut part of the door jamb, so the angle goes directly across the door entrance, just in case there is water it will stay inside the bathroom, an not you room Cheers Mano I have seen poly marble shower bases last in excess of 30 years 1 4517 Hi All, we are starting to think of building with Masterpiece Builders in Victoria, has anyone had any feedback or experience with them 0 13596 Hi we are looking to talk to people who have built with them recently.
